We are delighted to welcome Drug & Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB) as members of the Prescription Charges Coalition. DTB, published by the British Medical Journal, provides independent reviews of medical treatment.

Their May editorial "Taxing medicines" referred to the prescription charge as "a poorly conceived and manifestly unfair tax". They conclude that "such charges are clearly outdated and iniquitous, and we believe it is time that politicians showed their commitment to a patient-centred NHS and abolish prescription charges in England." We couldn't agree more!
